Product Information

MEET THE NEW BURRS - With a unique two-stage grinding geometry, Gen 2 Brew Burrs produce a sweet, balanced, complex cup with enough clarity to respect the coffee. Whether you’re a light roast drinker looking to increase extraction yield, or a medium and dark roast lover seeking rich chocolate and toffee notes, these burrs have something for everyone. The second generation has a 100g capacity bean hopper – a 20% improvement on the 80g of the original. That allows you to brew larger batches of coffee before refilling it. Because of that, there is also a larger catch cup for larger batch brews. Catch Cup Lid, Markings And Beep Fellow haven't stood still though, and the new Ode Brew Grinder (Gen 2) claims to take things to the next level. But is it worth the upgrade? We've been able to get some hands-on time with the new Fellow Ode 2 Brew Grinder, and we're here to share our thoughts with you.

With the help of their unique two-stage grinding geometry, “Ode Gen 2 Brew Burrs” create a sweet, balanced, complex cup. Whether you’re a light roast drinker looking to extract more flavours from your beans, or a medium to dark roast lover seeking rich notes of chocolate and toffee, these burrs have something for everyone. The Ode is much faster and quieter than the Breville. I haven't specifically timed the Ode, but to grind 17 grams of beans it's certainly less than 10 seconds between pressing the start button and the motor coming to a complete stop after detecting no more beans in the hopper. The Breville's timed dose took 19.4 seconds to grind the same quantity.

Yes, the price is higher than many entry-level grinders. However, compared to many higher-end grinders, it produces to a similar standard for particle distribution of ground coffee. Is It Worth Upgrading From The Original Fellow Ode Grinder? The Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2 focuses on getting the very best from your filter coffee. Its burr set and motor means that unfortunately, it's not suitable for espresso brewing. The new Fellow Opus takes on that responsibility instead, as well as being adaptable to a whole range of other brew methods. We'd also recommend the Eureka Mignon Specialitaas a great all-rounder which handles espresso very well. If espresso isn't on your mind, the Ode Gen 2 is a step up for folks who really want to experience all that a premium coffee grinder can offer.

Bigger Load Bin: The new ground coffee catch bin is now 100g as opposed to 80g on the Gen 1. Better for bigger brew servings. The original Fellow Ode has a solid reputation for the quality of its grinds – they are consistent among several brew methods, including drip coffee, French press, and cold brew. There is an issue, though. Many users noted that it isn’t able to grind fine enough using lightly roasted coffee beans.The Fellow Ode is well designed to be durable and compact. However, it has not stood the test of time. But given that Fellow is reputable for producing high-quality products, we expect nothing less of the Fellow Ode Grinder. I had this product for more than 2 months now and went trough several bags of coffee, including dark roast and medium roast (I did Moka Pot, Aeropress and French Press). Overall I am quite happy with it as I switched from Cuisinart DBM-8 and there is not even a comparison between the two. PRECISION GRIND QUALITYPrecise particle size is possible with every push of the button thanks to café-sized flat burrs and easy grind adjustment with 11 settings and 31 steps in between.

If you’re in the market for a new grinder for filter coffee, the Fellow Ode Gen 2 is well worth considering. It offers a straightforward workflow and excellent grind quality across brewing methods, while the machine retains the sleek aesthetic of the original. As we stated earlier, the Fellow Ode brew grinder was designed for manual brewing methods- and it does an excellent job at what it is intended to do. It is not designed for espresso and so does not grind fine enough for that. AUTO ATOP Ode knows exactly when the last bean has been ground and automatically shuts itself off. Product Specification DimensionsBut why is it so popular, and what makes it different from other burr grinders? Also, is it still worth buying now? Let’s answer those questions and more. We are happy to report that this issue has been fixed with the latest rendition; the Fellow Ode Gen 2. The Gen 2 has a new set of 64mm flat burrs, designed by Fellow. These burrs can grind finer, with a grind range of 250-300 microns and up. In comparison, the original burrs could only manage 550 microns and up. The grind range covers brew methods such as Aeropress, Pour Over, Drip Coffee, French Press, and Cold Brew. If you weren’t entirely satisfied with the flavor profiles produced by the burrs of the original Fellow Ode, you would likely find significant improvement with the upgrade. Across the range of different brew methods you can grind for, you should have balance, sweetness, and medium clarity. Finer grind settings also increase extraction yield, you can have a more complex cup of coffee. Now I know the importance of choosing the right coffee burrs grinder can ultimately determine what the final cup in your cup should taste like. To assess your claim, you will be required to provide photo and/or video evidence of the damaged product.

Surprisingly precise particle size is made possible thanks to the café-sized flat burrs and easy grind adjustment that includes 11 settings and as many as 31 steps. This 120V model is only compatible with outlets in the US and Canada. To find an international retailer near you, head HERE. Ode Brew Grinder is not an espresso grinder nor suitable for moka pots. The Fellow Ode takes grinder design into the future. The sleek aesthetics are a testament to modern, minimalist design. But it’s not all about looks—the Ode has 31 grind settings and boasts impressive speed and consistency, outpacing the Baratza Encore in the speed department. I really like the single dose grinding of the Ode. It's one of the reasons I decided to upgrade rather than buy another Breville. When a visitor was here, changing beans in the Breville was tedious. No problem with the Ode since it doesn't store any beans. The lid of the catch cup also has a better fit than the original. Meanwhile, under the lid of the fellow Ode, the markings have been slightly altered to specify the cupping range. Finally, the first generation beeps when you start and stop grinding. Some users find that annoying, and it has been removed in the newer version.

Eso sí, no he logrado un café tan dulce como con el Comandante C40, pero si un café brillante y explosivo en sabores, eso con el V60 Switch. El V60 Mugen también me ha dado excelentes resultados, mejor que un V60 tradicional. Otra opción genial sería la Clever. The Ode Brew Grinder’s array of inventive features is impressive, although pulling off these innovations did not apparently distract its engineers from what really matters — the grind. We've said it for years – a good grinder is second only to your choice of beans when it comes to making exceptional coffee. Although the specialty coffee scene is relatively young, certain brands are considered established leaders in the field, and Fellow is one of them. The Fellow Ode coffee grinder makes consistent grinds for beautiful cups of coffee. The main challenge is paying attention to the grind size and being prepared to try different settings than the grind size chart suggests if necessary. That’s because its recommendations may be too coarse for pour-over. However, if you’re willing to experiment a little, you will soon find your perfect setting.
